Jerôme Prior, born on the 8th of August 1995 in France, currently resides between the sticks for the Premiership team, Livingston. Standing at a lofty 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing in at a solid 13.5 stone (86kg), Prior commands the goalmouth with a formidable presence. A custodian of the number 28 jersey, Prior is as vital to the Livingston back line as he is respected.
Prior's estimated market value is a modest £170K, as stated by Transfermarkt, reflecting on his journeyman-career spanning several clubs and countries.
After being transferred to Bordeaux in the French National Championship back in July 2013, Prior found himself making a total of 29 league appearances over three seasons with the club. Despite only making a handful of appearances each season, Prior used the time to foster his developing skills in the demanding climate of French football.
In July 2019, Prior moved from Bordeaux to his fellow French team, Valenciennes. Over two seasons, he made a healthy 59 first-team appearances, indicating his growth and reliability as a goalkeeper.
Believing in expanding his horizons, Prior undertook a move to Spain in August 2021, joining Cartagena in the Second Division B/1. Despite only making two appearances in his debut season, Prior continued to grow and adapt as a professional.
His journey did not stop there, as Prior found himself moving once more in July 2022. This time to PAS Giannina in Greece, where he made three appearances in what seemed to be a brief stint at the club.
Returning to the familiarity of French football in January 2023, Prior arrived at Pau FC in the Ligue 2. Showing his experience, he made a commendable 11 appearances during the season.
Finally, in July 2024, he embarked on the journey North to join Livingston in the Scottish Premiership. Over two seasons and counting, Prior has made an impressive 51 appearances. Testament to his ability and consistency, he has started in five League Cup matches and four play-off matches in the 2025 campaign at Livingston.
In the annals of Livingston, the name of Jérôme Prior is a solid one, a stone wall in front of goal, a barrier teams must try to breach. As such, he has become a formidable part of the Livingston squad.
